I dream of a maid
to make life lovely, genteel.
Need a new husband...
Lift up a cushion.
There's pasta in the sofa!
Petrified penne.
Below the toilet...
EWWWW!! Little boys always miss!
Men too? Double EEWWWW!
How does dust get THERE?
Perhaps I should vacuum more.
Too busy blogging.
Closet is messy.
I stare and stare and stare. Eh,
No one gives a shit.
What's behind the milk?
A science experiment?
No, just old meatloaf.
Celebratory
margarita for Gretchen.
Cleaning job well done.

I'm impressed!! You are talented.
Also, I meant to comment the other day that I enjoyed your longer writing post about your ten reasons to love America. I appreciated and enjoyed it.

These are great. I just might be inspired to clean my house--no probably not.

You are a master of haiku...and I agree with your opinion of housecleaning!

Not only do you do windows but you write poetry about it. You're a keeper.

Standing ovation for you! Haiku!!!

Excellent Haiku from you! Takes a daunting task and simplifies it in a way we all can understand.
Thanks for sharing,

I love it! Never has a haiku seemed more pertinent to my life!

Oh my goodness, I want a maid too! A wife would be better because then I don't have to pay her!
